This Earth has provided the human race, and all other species, the means with which to cure many ailments, from the stomach upset to cancer and AIDS. It is in the soil that has bacteria every species needs to survive, and most important, it is in the foods we eat. Modern day medicine is a great boon to the human race. But what of the ancients, and the medicines they knew of? The medicines that have been lost to time, to war and to superstition? And are now being lost to deforestation, pollution and large pharmaceutical companies that do not have your best interest at heart. Listen to the commercials that advertise sleep medication, anti-depressants or cholesterol lowering drugs, when they begin to tell you of the side effects. Read a short biography about a man who has lived HIV positive for 30 years and his struggle with modern day medicines. He then tells of a plant that was found in Ecuador and how it has helped him. However, if you or someone you care about is fighting cancer or a debilitating disease, this article and the links provided may just be what you are looking for.

Chevron/Texaco severely pollutes a chunk of the Amazon Rain Forest in Ecuador, and leaves. Click on the link to watch the video and read the article. People are getting sick and dying from cancers. Animals have been dying for years. Rivers and streams are unusable...but the people that live in the region have no choice but to use the water. On the link above, you can watch the video and sign the petition. If Chevron/Texaco is not made to clean up their mess in Ecuador, they will be doing the same thing in this country, and very soon. Look what happened with the Exxon Valdez in Alaska. Exxon still has not paid any where near what the cost of clean-up is, yet they can claim billions of dollars in profits. If we do not make these corporations responsible for cleaning up the messes they make, then we are, in fact, culpable. Sign the petition after watching the video. Chevron/Texaco needs to be held responsible. Click on the link to read the article. Here is another good one for you. After you read the article, do not just shake your head and say it won't happen here. Because it can and it will. Does anyone really believe these huge corprations will stick around once they have raped the land and the people? Why do you think they like NAFTA so well? Aspartame: Sweetener or Silent Killer Here is a documentary on Aspartame, that sweetener that was created in a lab and is not “natural” as some would like us to believe. The documentary is long, but it shows how the foods we have been eating all of our lives more than likely have artificial ingredients that are literally killing us. What is FD & C Yellow #5? Or Red #6? What is that ingredient that is listed on the box, that you cannot pronounce? If you are reading this article, you have a computer, go look up that ingredient. If it does not scare you, it should at least make you think about what you are eating. Editor
